Asian Film Series: The Flying Guillotine - 50 år Jubilæum

The Emperor’s armies have developed a new weapon : a thrown blade that can remove someone’s head from long distance.

As the paranoid Emperor begins decapitating anyone he fears might be a threat, his guard Mau Tang becomes disillusioned with the excesses of his master. He leaves his post and takes up the quiet life of farming and raising a family.

Eventually, though, his past catches up with him, and he must find a way to fight the flying guillotine… but who can triumph against this living nightmare of a weapon?
